Chapter 176: The Scholar Misled the Country

Remember for a second [Think โ™‚รท Ke โ˜… Xiao โ–ณ said ยง Net . Org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

On the Anxi Gate of the Eight Gates of the Imperial City, the 120,000 Shu troops under the Yanren Zhang Yide have stormed this hard imperial city gate for more than an hour, and finally after paying more than 6,000 lives, the soldiers of the Shu army successfully climbed the Anxi Gate with sharp arrows and stones, and fought with the 20,000 imperial forest troops and 50,000 recruits who defended the city at the head of the city.

Zhang Fei held a snake spear in his hand, roared angrily, jumped into the city wall, the snake spear in his hand opened and closed, and he didn't know how many ** he killed, and **The guard of this city gate, Zhang Wende, the former guard of the south gate of Chang'an Outer City, looked at Zhang Fei, and immediately waved the sword in his hand to kill the past, Zhang Wende is not the general of the Royal Forest Army, he is the general of the original 50,000 garrison troops in Chang'an City.

The Imperial Forest Army is the soldier who guards the palace and is responsible for the emperor's safety, so it is naturally impossible to guard the city, and the task of guarding the city is to hand over the other 50,000 garrison troops in the city, and the reason why this garrison has never shown up is because ....... Most of them were killed, the first wave of the Three Kingdoms Alliance's onslaught, it was up to them, the war was less than half an hour, the 50,000-strong garrison troops, nearly eighty percent of the battle was killed, if it wasn't for the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army to come fast enough, I was afraid that Guo Simen outside Chang'an City would be captured in half an hour.

50,000 people is a lot, but these 50,000 people are scattered to the four defenses, and there are only more than 10,000 people on each wall on average, but these more than 10,000 people are almost more than ten times in front of their own enemies, and they have to live for an hour.

Later, this garrison force of less than 3,000 people, after the four gates were breached, withdrew into the imperial city with the Imperial Forest Army, and then was reorganized into the Imperial Forest Army and re-sent to guard the eight gates of the imperial city.

Zhang Yide saw that a member of the Tang Dynasty rushed towards him, and the snake spear stabbed towards Zhang Wende's chest, Zhang Wende swung his sword to block, "bang" The sword in Zhang Wende's hand was directly hit by the snake spear, and Zhang Fei's right hand holding the gun was stabbed with another shot, directly stabbing Zhang Wende to death on the city wall.

The Imperial Forest Army is worthy of being the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is attacked by hundreds of thousands of enemies, they are still fighting desperately, as for the more than 50,000 recruits, more than 4,000 people died when they attacked the city, after seeing the Shu army led by Zhang Fei rushing to the city, only more than 10,000 people gritted their teeth and rushed up, and the remaining more than 30,000 people either surrendered on their knees, or escaped from the city, you let a group of ordinary people help release arrows, carry a stone or something, but you have to let a group of people who have never seen blood, Stepping forward to fight with the vicious Shu army is simply a fool's dream.

Zhang Fei's hundreds of thousands of Shu troops climbed the city wall by means of cloud ladders in turn, even if more than 20,000 soldiers of the Royal Forest Army fought desperately and bloodily, but they could not change the outcome of the destruction.

In just one hour, two hours later, all the 25,000 Imperial Forest troops were killed, 8,000 recruits were killed, 20,000 were captured, and Zhang Fei also paid the price of nearly 36,000 lives.

On the majestic Anxi Gate, the rich smell of blood lingered in every corner of the air, and a corpse with blurred flesh and blood added a bit of sadness to this tragic city.

All this is just for a little girl.

Anxi Gate was broken, the general Liu Renliang was desperate, from the "Upper East Gate" that was feinted by the Three Kingdoms Alliance, transferred away 3,000 Royal Forest Army and 5,000 recruits, he led 8,000 soldiers to kill Anxi Gate desperately, vowing to recapture the lost city gate, Liu Renliang understood, as long as the eight gates of the imperial city were broken, it would inevitably cause a chain reaction, at that time, I was afraid that the vicinity was already under the onslaught of the enemy, the crumbling Jiandong, Dingding two gates will also fall, these two gates are lost, the imperial city can basically be declared to be breached, and the imperial city is broken, Chang'an is only left with the last palace city.

Liu Renliang led the eight thousand soldiers just arrived at Anxi Gate, and was shot by the overwhelming arrows of the Shu army to kill hundreds of people, Liu Renliang hurriedly let the soldiers under his command disperse, he looked at the Shu army on the Anxi Gate, after a long time, Liu Renliang found that the Shu army did not go out of the city to attack them, but on the crowded city wall, it became sparse, from the original 100,000 army, to the current 30,000, this .......

A big question appeared in Liu Renliang's heart, why didn't they continue to attack, and they were right under their noses, they were indifferent, and Liu Renliang, who was puzzled, finally made a small test.

He asked the soldiers to shout and scold under the city, but no matter how they insulted, the Shu army just didn't go out of the city, Liu Renliang frowned slightly, and then, he led eight thousand soldiers to rush towards Anximen, and the Shu army on the city wall immediately pulled out arrows and shot back, but they still didn't go out of the city to annihilate their team of only a few thousand people.

After this series of tests, Liu Renliang suddenly remembered what Li Ji said yesterday, these unidentified enemy troops seemed to be ...... I don't plan to kill them all.

But at this moment, Liu Renliang made a mistake, a very serious mistake, that is, he left the Longguang Gate that he personally guarded, you must know that the Longguang Gate at this moment is being attacked by the head of the five good generals, Zhang Liao of the powerful Xiaoyaojin, in the previous imperial city attack and defense battle, Anxi Gate, Jiandong Gate, Dingding Gate, and Sanmen The situation is the worst, and although Longguangmen has the general Zhang Liao and 100,000 Wei troops, Liu Renliang is not a dry meal, and he who killed the Japanese in horror naturally has his uniqueness.

After fighting with Zhang Liao for an hour, he didn't let a single Wei army rush to the city, and his Longguangmen had so far killed less than 2,000 Imperial Forest troops and 3,000 recruits, but Zhang Liao paid the price of at least 7,000 men.

At this moment, when Liu Renliang led his troops to reinforce Longguangmen, Zhang Liao seized the opportunity and personally led people to charge, and after a wave of fierce arrow rain and stones, Zhang Liao took the lead in rushing to the city with a big knife in his hand.

Zhang Liao relied on one person, wielding the life-seeking knife in his hand, and actually killed a vacuum within twenty meters of his surroundings, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army looked at Zhang Liao who was bathed in blood, and their whole body was trembling, just now, the yellow-faced general slashed their General Wang to death with a knife, General Wang is known as the first master of their Royal Forest Army, but he didn't make a move in front of him, God, what is the way these people come from.

After Zhang Liao rushed to the city, 50,000 Wei troops followed, in the blink of an eye, the majestic Longguang Gate, all over the two armies of the soldiers fighting, also after a fierce battle for an hour, the 50,000 recruits of Longguangmen lost one-third, the rest scattered and fled, and the 25,000 Imperial Forest Army was killed 18,000 people, and the only remaining 7,000 remnants of the soldiers escaped with a deputy general, and withdrew towards the Upper East Gate not far away.

.......

In the Daming Palace, Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair nervously, holding Wu Zetian's jade hand, listening to the earth-shattering sound of fighting outside, Li Zhi at this moment actually had a feeling that the Tang Dynasty was about to die, but he was the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, could it be that the Tang Empire that looked down on the world, like the Great Sui that had not long perished, had run out of gas?

The cold sweat on Li Zhi's forehead and his trembling arms can be clearly seen, proving that the emperor has been extremely frightened, and it is estimated that at this time, as long as he sees a coalition soldier raising a knife and killing him in front of his eyes, he will burrow under the table with a grain of brains, just like the Jade Emperor.

But on the other hand, the other people above the hall are much calmer than him, although Wu Zetian is also very anxious, but on the surface, he looks light, and the heroic martial artist Li Ji can be said to be the calmest person in the audience.

Whether it is superficial or psychological, he is not nervous at all, Li Ji has been fighting horses all his life, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves, and he has already guessed the thoughts in the hearts of the coalition forces, and now, he is waiting for the emperor to speak and send someone to negotiate.

As for why Li Zhi himself was scared like this, and he didn't send anyone to the peace talks, it was very simple, two words, dignity.

Not only the dignity of him, the emperor, but also the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, with a million, such a superpower, will actually be surrounded by people, this is simply a great shame, and pay attention, it was said before that if Li Zhi saw a coalition soldier rushing in front of him, his reaction would be to drill under the table at most, not surrender, although Li Zhi is a little modest, but as an emperor, an emperor who has been in charge of the Tang Dynasty for decades, how can he not have arrogance, although it is useless whether he has this arrogance or not.......

Li Zhi's heart is very simple, that is, he wants to hold Chang'an before the reinforcements arrive, he poured the entire Tang Dynasty's strength, can't he still deal with the thief army outside the city, this battle must be won, and it must be won, Li Zhi's thoughts in his heart can be said to be the thoughts of the vast majority of the ministers present, this has been knocked on the door, if he doesn't teach them a lesson, won't Datang's face be lost?

So after Li Ji put forward the idea of peace talks last night, he was immediately bombarded by hundreds of officials, especially those imperial histories, a group of guys who have nothing to do every day when they are full, and who will beat up whoever is not pleasing to the eye, not to mention pointing their noses and scolding Li Ji, it is almost the same, all in all, it is a sneer, saying how Li Ji is greedy for life and afraid of death, how he loses power and humiliates the country.

Peace talks? Where is the majesty of this Datang? The group of imperial historians even demanded that Liu Renliang immediately lead his troops out of the city and fight a bloody battle with the thief army outside the city.

Li Ji snorted coldly, he didn't bother to pay attention to these sour and rotten scholars, and now he didn't even know the identity of the people, and if he didn't send troops in vain, he would suffer heavy losses, if he didn't argue with those sour and rotten scholars for fear of dirtying his tongue, Li Ji really wanted to ask them, is the so-called dignity important, or the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are important!!

The most ridiculous thing is to let Liu Renliang take the only remaining 600,000 soldiers in the city out to fight a bloody battle, are you all idiots, 600,000, it sounds like a lot, two-thirds of these 600,000 people are recruits, what is the difference between sending them to the battlefield and sending them to death.

Scholars mislead the country, scholars mislead the country!!

At that time, there were only two people who agreed with Li Ji's idea of peace talks, one was the general Liu Renliang, and the other was Wu Zetian, although they also took the dignity of the Tang Dynasty very seriously, but ......... Sometimes, dignity really can't be taken too seriously.
